If I didn’t care about the characters so much, I would be happy to leave them and never think about them again. "I really care about the characters and I would love to write Helen and Mare and Siobhan again," Ingelsby said. That’s a very long-winded way of saying that I don’t really know if there’s a season two.īut Ingelsby's emotional ties to the characters are strong, so don't despair yet. But it’s the personal journey that scares me a little bit, because we used a lot of the tools in the toolbox in season one. What does a second season look like? What’s the deserving second chapter that can fulfill that murder-mystery need but also tell the second chapter of Mare’s personal journey? I think there’s enough stories, in terms of mystery, that you’ll be able to create a new one. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ingelsby sowed some doubt about the future of Season Two, saying that writing another season isn't as simple as coming up with a suspenseful murder mystery: I think the trick with season two is: How can you outdo that? I don’t know that you’ll ever be able to re-create that level of emotion. I would want to make sure that it was as rich and compelling as I hope this season has been.” I wouldn't do it just because you have a chance to do it. I would only do it if I was convinced we could make it great, though. If we could ever give her a great season, I would certainly consider it. I don't have that in my head right now, but I mean, listen, I love Mare. “But I think if we could ever crack a story that was as emotional and surprising, then I think maybe there's a conversation. I hope so at least,” he told Esquire before the finale aired. I think you've seen that now, the story ends. So although creator Brad Ingelsby sees the first season as a wrapped entity, he doesn't object to a second season, if the story is right. Now that the show has cleaned up throughout awards season, taking home multiple Emmys and Critics' Choice Awards (including Best Actress for Kate Winslet), the case for its return is all the stronger. We had a heartbreaking confession, a satisfying conclusion to the mystery, and a meaningful summation of the series’ poignant themes.
